Bookstore Returnability Kit - Advanced

$1,999.00

Getting bookstores to carry your book can be a challenge for not so well known writers. Competition for shelf space is tough and those coveted spots are often reserved for high-profile authors. Often, book buyers want to see a proven track record of sales and a solid marketing plan that they feel will help move the book off the shelves and into the hands of readers. However, there are ways to help your books get onto the shelves of bookstores.

Approach your local bookstores. Talk to the buyers about carrying your book. Many stores have a "local authors" section and may be willing to carry your title based on that. Another way to get the bookstore to pay attention is by mentioning the magic words: "My book is returnable through Ingram and Baker & Taylor Distribution Distribution."
